​
In their pursuit of employment, graduating Midwifery students will all need to participate in a ‘job interview’ process. Even though students are usually given the support of careers information kits and information sessions at university, the value of these tools are limited.

To address the need for a more ‘hands on’ approach to a midwifery discipline specific ‘job interview’ experience, a lecture/workshop format was initiated to prepare graduating midwifery students for a number of types of job interviews.

This presentation would include an outline of the lecture material, the workshop process and content and some video footage to demonstrate one of the workshop activities. Comments and responses from the students in relation to the value of the lecture/workshop will be made available.
